Topic: iPad/iPhone controls (Read 1067 times)

My kids are getting to the age that my wife and I are worried about what they are accessing on their devices. Is anyone familiar with apps that will allow me to monitor what they're doing? I don't care so much about setting 'times' for them as I care about limiting web access and things like that.

I think it would have to be at the OS level. iOS doesn't really let apps control other apps. I haven't used them, but it looks like there are some restrictions built into the OS. I'd be curious what your experience is with them:

Open dialogue is important and we do that. Trust me, the things we've talked about recently with them.... ugh... sometimes adulting is hard. I glanced at some of the controls in iOS but didn't dig into them too much.

Ha! It can be totally awkward...I've heard about sex, drugs, and drinking from students this term...and from parents about their kid's romantic lives and about their kid's pending breast reduction...sigh....It gets easier? Maybe?
